(Finally) reading the #ThreeBodyProblem. Disbelief suspended when a scientist plays a video game called 3body and takes multiple attempts to deduce it's a three body problem. The clue is in the name?

New #blost - "The Dark Forest"
Another book review - the sequel to Three Body Problem and the 2nd book of the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy.

Ok I finished "Three Body Problem" by Cixin Liu
Solid #Scifi , absolutely love the idea of the "Sophon", but what stood out for me was that much of the story is set against the backdrop of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. This struck me as particularly relevant to the times we currently inhabit. The mass cult-like hysteria and the war on intellectuals really hit home as we confront the right wing tsunami washing over us.
Anyway its part of a trilogy so I will eventually move the on the next in the series.
I'm a slow reader so don't wait up...

In The "Three body problem" the Trisolarians destroy human ability to do basic physics research, because that is the only meaningful way humans can defend themselves against the aliens.
The alien invasion fleet will take 120 years to arrive.
I see parallels with human physics being sabotaged. Our brightest physicists and universities, elevated #stringtheory to a religion...
..and just like religion, it has absolutely no scientific basis.
40+ years of human progress wasted.
Some folks speculate that "Three body problem" is #China soft #Disclosure (in light of this key concept).
New #blost time!
First post on my new Bear Blog site - I review my latest read: The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu. I'm excited to get back to writing a bit more regularly again (hopefully).
WW0CJThe Three Body ProblemI've been trying to find a reading genre that really sucks me in, and I think sci-fi is going to be that genre for a while. While I take a break from reading...
The #threebodyproblem might be a great book, but the #twobodyproblem is a classic #physics problem with an actual solution. Here's my derivation.

Making my way through The Three Body Problem. Now this is GOOD. Already two thirds the way through, so I've gone ahead and bought The Dark Forest.
Rarely have I felt so connected to Ye Wenjie.

I really like it and can't wait for season 2. Season 1 was 30 episodes and basically all of Book one. While I did like the Netflix series, I liked this version much more.

I just finished up watching the first season of #ThreeBodyProblem on Netflix. Overall, I liked it, and found the story interesting and engaging. I'd probably like the book, if I were still able to read for pleasure. It was nice seeing Rosalind Chao (Keiko O'Brien from DS9) again. Wow, talk about a stonefaced performance.
Usually I'm fine with any old weird science in a sci-fi story, but there were a few sciencey bits that strained my willing suspension of disbelief. Since I didn't read the books, I don't know if something was lost in adaptation, but either way a couple things seemed to contradict known science in a way I couldn't accept as being consistent with our universe, and that felt at odds with the tone the story set. That didn't ruin the show or even come close, but it did take away a little something.
I didn't realize the show was done by the guys behind Game of Thrones until I finally noticed in the last episode, so now I'm a bit worried things may go wrong in the final season, but maybe they'll have learned their lesson and show some restraint. I am looking forward to future seasons. It's nice to get some serious, well made sci-fi on TV.
@CptSuperlative this is why I read sci-fi. Far future is sometimes much more utopian. Except #ThreeBodyProblem. That was the stuff of nightmares.
But I agree with you. We rarely agree on the degree to which changes must be brought to the systems in place. It’s never going to be a perfectly perfect process.

There’s been a bit of discussion lately of the Dark Forest Hypothesis (DFH), which is one of the proposed answers to the Fermi Paradox. The Fermi Paradox asks why we can’t see any other civilizations out there in the universe, even though it is statistically extremely unlikely that we are
I'm almost finished the final book of the #ThreeBodyProblem trilogy. The last part is quite abstract, so it's taking me a while.

Continued thread
I am very tempted to read the whole ATX specification though. It's interesting to see where things come from and why.
Anyway, at least my board is a size that did exist at some point in history. That gives me some hope.
No time for any of that today though. Time to watch some #ThreeBodyProblem with the girlfriend.

@strathearnrose @990000 Yep. It’s been a minute since I read the first two - saved myself from the tedium of reading the third. De gustibus non disputandum est and all that, but I have never understood the popularity.
#ThreeBodyProblem
@990000 don’t know about comparing it to other #scifi but fwiw I absolutely agree with her re #ThreeBodyProblem
Read the first book - haven’t bothered with the others or the screen adaptation
